Jasmine's Place Issue No. 8 - November/December 2013 | Page 25

When I lost my job, I was confident that I would find employment again. I never dreamt that I could end up in debt. Things got so bad and I considered suicide. After hearing about CAP, it took me 48 hours to muster up the courage to call; I felt so ashamed and embarrassed. Mervyn Brian got all of my paperwork, took it and sent it away to CAP’s head office. It was such a fantastic feeling to know someone was taking the burden off me. CAP changed my life. They stood by me all the way. After four years I am debt free and back at work. News At CAP!
